If you do not see your question here, send a message with your ZIP code, service type, and preferred timing.
Pricing and quotes
How do I get a cleaning quote?
Complete the quote form with your service type, ZIP code, home size, preferred date, and notes about the space. We review the details before confirming next steps.
Are starting prices final prices?
No. Starting prices are a guide. Final pricing depends on size, condition, service frequency, add-ons, access, and specific cleaning needs.
Why can deep cleaning cost more than regular cleaning?
Deep cleaning usually takes more time because it focuses on buildup, fixtures, edges, baseboards, kitchen detail, bathroom detail, and areas that may not be cleaned every visit.
Cleaning services
What does regular home cleaning include?
Regular cleaning typically includes kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, accessible dusting, floors, and trash removal.
Do you bring cleaning supplies?
Cleaning supply details can be confirmed during booking. If you prefer specific products or want certain products avoided, mention that in your request.
What services are not included?
BrightNest Cleaning does not handle hazardous materials, pest waste, heavy mold remediation, exterior windows, or heavy lifting.
Scheduling and service area
What areas do you serve?
BrightNest Cleaning serves Austin, Texas, with availability based on ZIP code and schedule. Nearby requests can be reviewed by ZIP code.
Can I request a specific cleaning date?
Yes. Add your preferred cleaning date and any flexible alternatives in the quote form so availability can be reviewed.
Can I reschedule?
Yes. Contact us as soon as possible if your preferred date changes. Rescheduling depends on availability.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellation details should be confirmed when the appointment is scheduled. Please give as much notice as possible so the schedule can be adjusted.
Access, keys, and pets
Do I need to be home during the cleaning?
Not always. Access instructions can be discussed after the appointment is confirmed. Please include any gate codes, parking notes, or building instructions.
Can I provide key or lockbox access?
Access arrangements can be discussed during scheduling. Only share access details once the appointment and service scope are confirmed.
Are pets okay?
Yes. Please mention pets in the quote request, including whether they will be home during the cleaning and if any rooms should remain closed.
Should I tidy up before the visit?
Light pickup is helpful so more time can be spent cleaning surfaces, floors, kitchens, and bathrooms instead of moving personal items.
